Can we run VB.Net in Visual Studio Express that is initially installed with C#?

I have installed Visual Studio Express version for C#. Now I need to use VB.Net. However I don't see VB.Net files. And I tried searching to install both, but it seems both comes separately...

How can I install Visual Studio Express, so that it can support both C# and VB.Net?

For Visual Studio 2010 you need to download the "Visual Basic 2010 Express" version from here:

Install link - http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9709929

For some reason they decided to split the desktop edition into three one for C#, one for VB.NET and one for C++. You can install all three (or four if you include the Web Application Developer version) along side each other without any problems. They are designed to work like this.

The Visual Studio 2012 version (Visual Studio 2012 for Windows Desktop) includes C#, VB.NET and C++ in one application.

You can install this along side your 2010 versions if necessary.
